Happy New Year Hodaka Folk!

[viclioce]

Today is the First Day of 2022! (How many remember this is the year for Soylent Green?)

Coming up, bikes to finish, cardiac rehab, walking, more time riding, and Hodaka Days! Hopefully, this year, there won’t be a reason to cancel it!

My projects this year are complete a (baby blue & white) Model 03, a 1973 Dirt Squirt, and my granddaughter’s Pink & Purple Ace 100! Then maybe start my trials bike! I also may meet Alan Donovan in Montana! Hey Clarence, we will try to find out if we can make it to your neck of the woods!

Tell us what your projects are, trips planned, etc.!!! If I have time, I’d like to get in my 1500 & go see Maxie in Kansas! Hoping he’s only a day’s ride away!

Well, keep the shiny side up, stay happy, and may all your projects go off as planned!

Happy New

My goal is to find my first hodaka been on the
Hunt hard

[viclioce]

You looking for the first one you bought years ago? Or looking for your first one now? Victor

[Ditcher976]

Just looking for my first one now sorry about the confusion

[viclioce]

Do you have any frame ID numbers for it? Victor

[ossa95d]

My recollection is that you are looking for any Hodaka that might have been sold by your grandfather who was a Hodaka dealer and owned Ditcher's Cycle Shop in Ohio. Just reminding myself.

[Ditcher976]

Yes that’s my ultimate goal but thinking I may try to find one a project bike now and then also if the only be from my grandfather shop does appear would jump on that as well was leaning toward a dirt squirt maybe or just depends on what I find

[taber hodaka]

what was the years your grandfather had his shop? Sounds like you have a good plan. --------- Clarence

[Ditcher976]

Not 100% sure but it was at least in the 1970-1973 era for sure

[viclioce]

You don’t have a list of possible frame numbers, do you? Certainly would help anyone with extra frames to find if they have anything from your grand dad’s shop! Victor

[Ditcher976]

I don’t this is the unfortunate part wish I was able to have more keepsakes from it

I think the only thing we have lefts is signage
